It's About Time

Tracy Byrd It's About Time Lyrics
1.Ain't It Just Like A Woman

(jeffrey steele/al anderson)

When it rains it pours
And man it's really comin' down

Feels like the weight of the whole world
Knocked me to the ground

And that's when she takes me in
And gives me shelter from the storm
Where i'm safe and warm
Lost in her arms
Nothin's wrong anymore

Ain't it just like a woman to know when
A man needs to be loved

Life's a race i'll never win
It's enough to drive me crazy
And when the walls start closing in
It never fails to amaze me

How one little touch
Or a twinkle in her eye
Brings me to life
Yeah, she knows the way
To make it alright

Ain't it just like a woman to know when
A man needs to be loved

That's when she takes me in
And gives me shelter from the storm
Where i'm safe and warm
Lost in her arms
Nothin's wrong anymore

Ain't it just like a woman to know when
A man needs to be loved

Ain't it just like a woman to know when
A man needs to be loved


2.A Little Love

(pat terry/tia sillers)

She underdressed for the occasion
She wants to go back home and change
A maid of honor wearing waitress shoes,
Just looks strange
Her little brother's getting married
A spur of the moment kind of thing
And she's giving up her lunch break,
Holding the ring
She's never been the jealous kind,
But she can't seem to stop,
That little voice inside saying,

I don't have to have it all
I'm not asking for the world
I don't need a star to fall
I just need a little light
Someone shining in my life
'cause in the dark when you're afraid
A little love can go a long, long way

There was a man she met one summer
His memory keeps her up at night
At the time it felt all wrong
But what if it was right?
Now here she is, throwing the rice
Standing on the sidewalk,
Trying not to cry thinking

I don't have to have it all
I'm not asking for the world
I don't need a star to fall
I just need a little light
Someone shining in my life
'cause in the dark when you're afraid
A little love can go a long, long way

When it's lonely in your life
And you've almost lost your faith
A little love can go a long, long way


3.Can't Have One Without The Other

(gary scruggs/shawn camp)

Used to think that love would be so simple
Just happy ever after one another
Sometimes it's hot to trot
And sometimes it's the old cold shoulder
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other

Sometimes you'll think she's sent from heaven
A best friend, confidante and lover
Oh, there are times that little angel
She ain't nothin' but a devil woman
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other

She can be such a good girl
But, she can be so bad
Put you on top of the world
Cut you down so fast
Sometimes she's my baby
Sometimes she's a mother
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other

I wouldn't take a million dollars for her
Or pay a single dime for ten more of her
I guess there's a heads and tails
To every lucky silver dollar
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other

Oh, she can make the time fly
She can be a drag
Put you on cloud nine
Turn to rain so fast
Sometimes she's my baby
Sometimes she's a mother
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other

Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other


4.Every Time I Do

(shawn camp/taylor dunn)

Whenever i go out
Anywhere in town
I look for a crowd
Where you're not hangin' 'round
Say that i won't give
Your memory any room
But every time i do

Just when i think i can
Take another's hand
Get on with my life
Won't look back again
Promise i won't keep
Comparin' them to you
But every time i do

Every time i do, i wish i didn't
Try to tell myself, but i just don't listen
It's what he can't have back he never learns his lesson
I say i'll forget her
Oh, but i know better
Don't i know by now we don't belong together
Shouldn't get the blues when i think of you
But every time i do

When i'm drivin' home
You'd think that i'd have learned
Keep both hands on the wheel
Don't even make that turn
Swear that i won't go
Down maple avenue
But every time i do

Every time i do, i wish i didn't
Try to tell myself, but i just don't listen
It's a fool who just goes on missin'
What he can't have back he never learns his lesson
I say i'll forget her
Oh, but i know better
Don't i know by now we don't belong together
Shouldn't get the blues when i think of you
But every time i do

No, i shouldn't get the blues when i think of you
But every time i do


5.It's About Time

(curtis wright/jim collins)

Another fourteen hour day, crisis solved deadline made
I came home like always, tired and beat
Threw dinner in the microwave
Beside it on the counter lay
A letter from my wife addressed to me
It said i know you're workin' hard that's easy to see
Tryin' to provide the best for the kids and me
We've had less to work with
But we've always worked it out
A house and yard, clothes and cars ain't all it's all about

It's about time that you're not givin'
Life that you're not livin'
Losin' your focus, not knowin' you don't notice
That our dreams are slowly fading
Are you hearin' what i'm sayin'
Don't you think we're worth the sacrifice
Cause if we are, you need to realize
It's about time

When you were on a business trip, to bad you had to miss
Your spittin' image hit the winning run
You know he adores you, he was lookin' for you
Remember that you promised him you'd come
Did you know your little girl lost her front tooth today
She put it underneath her pillow
And tried to stay awake
I laid down beside her, didn't want to sleep alone
This is not about 'not loving' can't you see what's goin' on

It's about time that you're not givin'
Life that you're not livin'
Losin' your focus, not knowin' you don't notice
That our dreams are slowly fading
Are you hearin' what i'm sayin'
Don't you think we're worth the sacrifice
Cause if we are, you need to realize
It's about time

I walked up the stairs to find three angels sound asleep
One by one i tucked 'em in and kissed 'em on the cheek
I stood there and thought about how selfish i had been
And how one day without 'em
Would be more than i could stand
And now i understand

It's about time i should be givin'
Life i should be livin'
Keepin' my focus and let em know i notice
That the thing that's most important
Is sharing in each moment
Heaven knows they're worth the sacrifice
It's not too late now, that i realize
It's about time

It's not too late now, that i realize
It's about time


6.Love, You Ain't Seen The Last Of Me

(kendal franceschi)

I been losin' my mind
One love at a time
Getting up just to be knocked down
But with all of that pain
I come back again
And i always go one more round

Women, me and love
We just can't get it right
I might lose the battle
But i love the fight

No love, you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see
If i can capture the dream
Yeah love, you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily
No, you ain't seen the last of me

I got a big, long list
Of all the times i've missed
When i zeroed in on love
And at times it seems
Like one heartache begins
Where the last one has just left off

And tonight it looks like
Another one is aimed in my heart
And she's lookin' at me
And i'm feelin' that feelin' start

Oh love, you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see
If i can capture the dream
Yeah love, you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily
No, you ain't seen the last of me

And tonight it looks like
Another one is aimed in my heart
And she's lookin' at me
And i'm feelin' that feelin' start

Oh love, you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see
If i can capture the dream
Yeah love, you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily
No, you ain't seen the last of me

Yeah love, you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily
No, you ain't seen the last of me


7.Proud Of Me

(tony martin / mark nesler)

As the sun's coming up
She puts coffee on
Love in a cup
She makes it strong
She kisses my cheek
And i'm on my way
With her on my mind
I work hard all day
Just trying to keep
Her proud of me

It's hard to believe
A girl like her fell
For someone with grease
Under his fingernails
And like a tattoo
Soap can't wash off
It's easy to see
I'm nobody's boss
I'm just trying to keep her proud of me

Don't know what she sees
In me that she loves
Oh, but i'm gonna do my best
To see she always does

Don't know what she sees
In me that she loves
Oh, but i'm gonna do my best
To see she always does

Oh, even though
I can't give her much
But i think that she knows
I'm just trying to keep her proud of me

As the sun's coming up
She puts coffee on


8.Put Your Hand In Mine

(skip ewing/jimmy wayne barber)

He sat up on the bed and he watched me packing
He already knew why i was leavin'
I took what i needed but i sure left a lot still hanging
But i figured i'd get it come the weekend
He said daddy when you get there
Are you gonna have a refridgerator
I kinda laughed and said i guess i will
Then he handed me a tracing of his hand
On the back of a piece of paper
And a magnet and my heart stood still (when he said)

Put your hand in mine
And i'll be there anytime
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be there to lift you up again
You can reach out to me anytime
And put your hand in mine

I drove past the hardin baptist church
Though it wasn't really on the way to my hotel
Beside me on the seat i was looking at five small fingers
When i heard the chapel bell (and it took me)
Back another life ago when our hearts were open
Oh, back when we could still agree
Back when the future that we had was full of hope and
You and i we got down on our knees (and said)

Put your hand in mine
And i'll be there anytime
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be there to lift you up again
You can reach out to me anytime
And put your hand in mine

I couldn't even stay away one night
I noticed you left on the light
And i've only got one thing to say
If you're not too tired and it's not too late

Put your hand in mine
And i'll be here all the time
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be here to lift you up again
Would you reach out to me one more time
And put your hand in mine

Would you reach out to me just one more time
And put your hand in mine


9.Something To Brag About

(al anderson / jeffrey steele)

I need something to brag about
A new car, a big two story house
I can't win her love without something to brag about

Well goodness gracious, what's that i see
Over in the corner making eyes at me
I can't stop shaking, she's so fine
But how am i ever going to make her mine all mine, oh

I need something to brag about
A new car, a big two story house
I can't win her love without something to brag about
I want to be all she's looking for
It's going to take all i've got and more
I'll be going home alone without something to brag about

Lord have mercy, here she comes
But it's too late now, i can't turn and run
Well my first impression just might be my last
Well i better hurry up and think of something fast, oh

I need something to brag about
A new car, a big two story house
I can't win her love without something to brag about
I want to be all she's looking for
It's going to take all i've got and more
I'll be going home alone without something to brag about

I need something to brag about
A new car, a big two story house
I can't win her love without something to brag about
I want to be all she's looking for
It's going to take all i've got and more
I'll be going home alone without something to brag about


10.Take Me With You When You Go

(mark nesler/jennifer hanson)

You can settle down in mexico
Runaway join a circus show
Whatever, baby it's alright with me
Take a walk in the pouring rain
Sky dive from a jet airplane
Love like ours is all about being free

There's two chairs on the front porch
One's yours and one is mine
Four wheels in the driveway that'll take
Us across the line
It doesn't really matter if you wanna rock or roll
Just take me with you when you go

Swim the ocean for a million pearls
Hitchhike all the way around the world
Fly to the moon in a rocketship i don't care
Ride a camel cross the desert sand
Sail away to never never land
Imagination can take you anywhere

So be the hero that rides off into the sun
Or a wild raging river always on the run
Change direction like the strong four winds that blow
Just take me with you when you go

Today, tomorrow and forever
Every turn you make
I want to be there - i want to be there

Live like a gypsy - chase your distant dreams
Or get lost in the blues on bourbon street
Down in new orleans
Believe in heaven if you want to save your soul
Just take me with you when you go
Just take me with you when you go


11.Undo The Right

(hank cochran/willie nelson)

If you can't say you love me say you hate me
And that you regret each time you held me tight
If you can't be mine forever then forsake me

If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right

It was right when you loved me only
But wrong when you held another tight
So before you go away and leave me lonely

If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right

It's too late to say your heart is filled with sorrow
You can't undo what's done
Why do you try
So please so i can face the new tomorrows
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right

It's too late to say your heart is filled with sorrow
You can't undo what's done
Why do you try
So please so i can face the new tomorrows
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right

If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right
