Country Strong (OST)

Various Artists Country Strong (OST) Lyrics
1.Country Strong


I know you see me, like some wide eyed dreamer*
That just rolled in, off a dusty Midwest bus
Yeah on the outside, Hallowed fragile
But on the inside something you can't crush

'cause I'm Country Strong, hard to break
Like the ground, I grew upon
You may fool me, and I''ll fall
But I won't stay down long
'cause I'm Country Strong

I have weathered, colder winters
And longer summers, without a drop of rain
Push me in a corner and I'll come out fightin'
I may lose but I'll always keep my face

'Cause I'm Country Strong, hard to break
Like the ground, I grew upon,
You may fool me, and I'll fall
But I won't stay down long,
'cause I'm Country Strong

'Cause I'm Country Strong, hard to break
Like the ground, I grew upon,
You may fool me, and I'll fall
But I won't stay down long,
'cause I'm Country Strong


2.A Little Bit Stronger


Woke up late today*
And I still feel the sting of the pain,
But I brushed my teeth anyway.
I got dressed through the mess,
And put a smile on my face.
I got a little bit stronger.

Riding in the car to work,
And I'm trying to ignore the hurt.
So I turned on the radio,
Stupid song made me think of you.
I listened to it for a minute,
But then I changed it.
I'm getting a little bit stronger,
Just a little bit stronger.

And I'm done hoping we can work it out,
I'm done with how it feels
Spinning my wheels,
Letting you drag my heart around.
And I'm done thinking you could ever change,
I know my heart will never be the same.
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay,
Even on my weakest days,
I get a little bit stronger.

It doesn't happen overnight,
But you turn around and a months gone by,
And you realize you haven't cried.
I'm not giving you an hour, or a second, or another minute
longer.
I'm busy getting stronger.

And I'm done hoping we can work it out,
I'm done with how it feels
Spinning my wheels,
Letting you drag my heart around.
And I'm done thinking you could ever change,
I know my heart will never be the same.
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay,
Even on my weakest days,
I get a little bit stronger.
I get a little bit stronger.

Getting along without you baby,
Better off without you baby,
How does it feel without me baby?
I'm getting stronger without you baby.

And I'm done hoping we can work it out,
I'm done with how it feels
Spinning my wheels,
Letting you drag my heart around.
And I'm done thinking you could ever change,
I know my heart will never be the same.
But I'm telling myself I'll be okay,
Even on my weakest days,
I get a little bit stronger.

I get a little bit stronger.
Just a little bit stronger.
Little bit, little bit, little bit stronger.
Get a little bit stronger.


3.Chances Are

Lyricist:Jasper Cameron, Joyce Irby, Lloyd Polite

Chances are 'cause I wear a silly grin
The moment you come into view
Chances are you think that I'm in love with you

Just because my composure sort of slips
The moment that your lips meet mine
Chances are you think my heart's your Valentine

In the magic of moonlight
When I sigh, 'Hold me close, dear'
Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my
eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

Chances are you believe the stars that fill the skies are in my
eyes

Guess you feel you'll always be the one and only one for me
And if you think you could
Well, chances are your chances are awfully good

The chances are your chances are awfully good


4.Liars Lie


Last night, I went out, walkin'*
I could not believe my eyes
I could tell that she wasn't some stranger;
You held her a little too tight.
My heart stopped like it hit a freight train
You kissed her, and twisted the knife
Now you're tryin' to tell me she's nothin';
why should I be so suprised?

Losers lose, winners win;
Cheaters cheat, singers sing.
Dreamers dream, cryers cry;
Fools believe, and Liars Lie.

It'll take all I got to forgive you.
As sure as my heart starts to mend,
I'd find you somewhere with another.
You'd hurt me all over again.

Losers lose, winners win, cheaters cheat, and singers sing;
Dreamers dream, cryers cry, fools believe, and Liars Lie.

I should've known, I should've known, I should've known:
Someone like you--who can't be true--is bound to wrong.

Losers lose, winners win;
Cheaters cheat, and singers sing;
Dreamers dream, cryers cry;
Fools believe, and Liars Lie.


5.She's Actin' Single (I'm Drinkin' Double)


I've seen men look at before*
And they think, I don't see them
I'd like to think it makes me proud
But, I'm only.. fooling me

I know she'll be lookin' back
The minute I'm not there
While she pours herself on some stranger
I pour myself a drink somewhere

She's acting single
I'm drinking double
I hide my pain
I drown my troubles

My heart is breaking
Like the tiny bubbles
She's acting single
I'm drinking doubles

I know all she plans to do
But I don't know where or when
If I ask who that stranger was
She'll just say, 'an old friend'

I'm not weak, I tell myself
I stay because I'm strong
The truth is, I'm not man enough
To stop her from doing me wrong

She's acting single
I'm drinking doubles
I hide my pain
I drown my troubles

My heart is breaking
Like the tiny bubbles
She's acting single
I'm drinking doubles

She's acting single
I'm drinking doubles
I hide my pain
I drown my troubles


6.Shake That Thing


Finally, Friday night*
Got to get, feeling right
Low cut, tank top
Blue jeans, skin tight
9 o'clock, dance hall
Walkin' in, struttin' tall
Lookin' so good
Boys scratchin' on the 8 ball

Belly up to the bar
Cuervo, PBR
Flirtin' with the bartender
Hey baby, no charge

Bands playin', my song
Gotta get my grove on
Ride sally, ride sally
Ride it all night long

If you got it, flaunt it
Make the cowboys....want it

You gotta shake that thing,
Shake that thing,
Shake that thing,
Shake that thing,

Closing time, 2 o'clock
Party in the parkin' lot
Dancin' on a flat bed
Everybody's getting hot
Swinging on some wild cat
Bumpin' old-school rap
Give that girl a brass pole
Where'd she learn to do that

If you got it, flaunt it
Make the cowboys .....want it
You gotta shake that thing
Shake that thing
Shake that thing
Shake that thing

East west, north south
Let it all hang out
Movin' up, movin' down
Take that country into town

Shake that thing.....


7.Give In To Me


I'm gonna wear you down*
I'm gonna make you see
I'm gonna get to you
You're gonna give into me

I'm gonna start a fire
You're gonna feel the heat
I'm gonna burn for you
You're gonna melt for me

Come on, come on
Into my arms
Come on, come on
Give into me

You're gonna take my hand
Whisper the sweetest words
And if you're ever sad
I'll make you laugh
I'll chase the hurt

My heart is set on you
I don't want no one else
And if you don't want me
I guess I'll be all by myself

Come on, come on
Into my arms
Come on, come on
Give into me

I'll use my eyes to draw you in
Until I'm under your skin
I'll use my lips, I'll use my arms
Come on, come on, come on
Give into me

Give into me
Give into me


8.Timing Is Everything


When the stars line up, and you catch a good break*
People think that you're lucky, but you know it's grace.
It can happen so fast, or a little bit late
Timing is everything.

You know I've had close calls when it could've been me
I was young when I learned just how fragile life could be.
I lost friends of mine, I guess it wasn't my time
Timing is everything.

I could have been a child that God took home
I would have been one more unfinished song.
But when it seems a rhyme is hard to find
That's when one comes along just in time.

Well I remember that day when our eyes first met
You ran into the building to get out of the rain 'cause you were
soaking wet.
And as you held the door, you wanted to know my name
Yeah, timing is everything.

I could have been another minute late
And you never would have crossed my path that day.
And when it seems true love is hard to find
That's when love comes along just in time.

You could call it fate, you can call it destiny
Sometimes it really seems like it's a mystery.
You can be hurt by love, or healed by the same
Timing is everything.

Mmmm, timing is everything
Yeah, timing is everything.


9.Words I Couldn't Say


In a book, in a box, in the closet*
In a line, in a song I once heard
In a moment on a front porch late one June
In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon

There it was at the tip of my fingers
There it was on the tip of my tongue
There you were and I had never been that far
There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms

And I let it all slip away

What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

There's a rain that will never stop fallin'
There a wall that I tried to take down
What I should have said just wouldn't pass my lips
So I held back and now we've come to this

And it too late now

What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say

What do I do now that you're gone
No back up plan, no second chance
And no one else to blame
All I can hear in the silence that remains
Are the words I couldn't say


10.Coming Home


It's a four letter word*
A place you go to heal your hurt
It's an alter, it's a shelter
One place you're always welcome
A pink flamingo, double wide
One bedroom in a high rise
A mansion on a hill
Where the memories always will
Keep you company
Whenever you're alone
After all of my running
I'm finally coming

Home
The world tried to break me
I found a road to take me
Home
There ain't nothing but a blue sky now
After all of my running
I'm finally coming
Home

Well they say its where the heart is
And I guess the hardest part is
When your heart is broken
And you're lost out in the great wide open
Looking for a map
Finding your way back
To where you belong
Well that's where I belong

Home
The world tried to break me
I found a road to take me
Home
There ain't nothing but a blue sky now
After all of my running
I'm finally coming
Home

Home'
Home'

Home
The world tried to break me
I found a road to take me
Home
There ain't nothing but a blue sky now
After all of my running
I'm finally coming
After all of my running
I'm finally coming
Home


11.Me And Tennessee


Baby I Think We Both Know It's Gone Wrong, Wrong, Wrong*
And I Know You Don't Think We Can Carry It On
Baby I Think We Both Know It's Gone Bad, Bad, Bad

Driving To Her House
Tellin' Her You Love Her
Lying On A Friday Night
Ring In Your Pocket
Lying To Me All Along
In The Back Of Your Truck With The Radio On

Forever We're Singin'
I Know We Went Wrong
