Vince Gill Best Of Vince Gill Lyrics
1.Cinderella

Say you're sorry
You still care
She came by my place again
Cryin' about you man
You should love her
Twice as much
I try to remember you're a friend
But it's gettin' a little rough

1st chorus:
She's just tired
Of bein' cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection
A little understanding
You better be careful 'cause the next time she comes to my door
She won't be a cinderella no more

A teardrop trembled
On her face
Where that smile always was
It seemed out of place
And when i held her
Like a friend
I could feel a sweet beginning
But taste a bitter end

2nd chorus:
She's just tired
Of bein' cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection
A little understanding
You better be careful 'cause the next time she comes to my door
You'll be sorry

'cause it seems like
It's always something with you
And everybody's always wrong
One of these nights
You'll reach for the pillow she sleeps on
And she's gonna be gone

2nd chorus


2.I've Been Hearing Things About You

Have i gone crazy
Is there someone new
Something strange is going on
Between me and you
But tell me baby
Tell me it's not true
'cause i've been hearing things about you

Are you unhappy
Are you lonely too
Won't you tell me face to face
What you're gonna do
Well i still love you
But i'm nobody's fool
I've been hearing things about you

Yeah i heard i've been dancin'
When you're out there runnin' 'round
And i heard you've been seein'
Some stranger you have found
And i heard you've been thinkin'
About tellin' me we're through
Yeah i've been hearing things about you

Yeah i heard you've been thinkin'
About tellin' me we're through
I've been hearing things, oh i ain't naming names
I've been hearing things about you


3.Let's Do Something

Nothin' to do in this lonely town
Your daddy warned me, 'son, you come around' says i ain't good
enough for you
He don't know what i'm goin' through

Chorus:
Let's do something
Sneak out your bedroom window, girl
And we'll be gone
Let's do something
Oh, baby, let's do something
Even if it's wrong

Go see the preacher 'cross the couty line
For 25 dollars he could make you mine
My heart's on fire, can't you feel it burn
I'm past the point of no return

Chorus

I'll make your daddy understand
Oh, lord, i know i can make him understand
I'll face your daddy man to man
No guts, no glory, girl, i'll take that chance

Chorus x 2


4.Lucy Dee

I've been sittin' here talkin' at you all night long
Now honey you still come off cool
Well you could have walked away instead you're leadin' me on
Lucy who you tryin' to fool

Chorus:
Yeah, lucy dee
You ain't got to run that line on me
Well it's plain to see
That you ain't all that you're made out to be
Well you can tell all your friends
That you finally met your equal, lucy dee

You've known all along just what i'm talkin' about
Well you knew someday there'd come a man
Who wouldn't keep on givin' 'til he finally gave out
Lucy, honey, here i stand

Chorus

Well you tell me you've known every thrill there is to know
And nothin' in this life comes free... nothin'
Well you tell me you've been every way there is to go
Lucy you ain't been with me

Chorus

Poor lucy dee


5.Never Knew Lonely

No other lover ever really cared
When i've reached out for you you've always been there
Now i'm so far away and baby i'm scared
I never knew lonely til you

You are my rock and the strength i need
To keep me sane in this life that i lead
Now i'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like i love you
I never knew lonely til you

I can't make up for the times i've been gone
But i'll prove i love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms girl it's where i belong
I never knew lonely til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like i love you
I never knew lonely til you


6.Oh Carolina

Sunrise through the evergreens
Another day is born
The hills take on a golden glow
A carolina morn

I used to see you in her eyes
Now i just got to know
Oh carolina, how could you let her go

Chorus:
Oh carolina, if i'd only known
Oh carolina, i would have never gone

I thought the beauty of your hills
Would hold her here for me
I never dreamed while i was gone
You'd ever set her free
I trusted you with all my heart
And the only love i've known
Oh carolina, how could you let her go

Repeat chorus x 2

I would have never gone


7.Oklahoma Swing

Ther's a redhead from my hometown that loves to let her hair
down
She tears my heart out when she starts to sing
She's from the right side of red river and she's pretty as a
picture
Don't you know she's this ole cowboy's dream

There's a boy from okie city and i sure think he's pretty
But i know he's trying to steal my heart away
Oh my mama tried to warn me he's done time in california
But he'll be an okie til his dyin' day

There's a dance we do in oklahoma
A dnace like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that oklahoma swing

Well when two okies get together man there's nothin' they like
better
Than to hold each other on a dawdust floor
Oh i love it when we're swayin' to those sweet twi fiddles
playin'
Come on boy what are we waitin' for

There's a dance we do in oklahoma
A dnace like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
How to do that oklahoma swing

Yeah there's a dance we do in oklahoma
A dnace like you've never seen
Sit back and we're gonna show ya
Yeah how to do that oklahoma swing
How to do that oklahoma swing


8.Radio

There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
And there ain't one magazine that i ain't read
I haven't seen you in weeks but i hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low

Chorus:
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on

There never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night i've ever known
It just goes on and on

Repeat chorus

It does my heart good to see you shine
So i'll just keep on counting these white lines
I haven't seen you in weeks but i hear you on the radio
Calling me back home

Repeat chorus to fade


9.Turn Me Loose

Chorus:
You better turn me loose
Turn me loose you know that i can't stay
You better turn me loose
Well turn me loose you know i'll make it anyway

Well why don't you tell me
Just what's goin' on
Both of us lyin' here
And we both know it's wrong
So why don't you let me
Why don't you leave it alone
And don't keep hangin' on to a love that's dead and gone

Chorus

Well you can't see it's over
That's really a shame
Well our love didn't make it
No one's to blame
So why don't we say goodbye
Why don't we just say we're through
And i'll be on my way
And i'll get by without you

Chorus x 2

Turn me loose you know i'll make it anyway


10.Victim Of Life's Circumstances

It's 6:05 on sunday mornin'
And i was supposed to've left for memphis late last night
But i stopped at one of them old highway places
And 'cause i did i'll sleep in tarren county jail tonight

Well i started out tonight with good intentions
But i ended up gettin' sidways drinkin' wine
Well the last thing i remember we was rollin'
And something hit my head and knocked me from my conscious mind

Chorus:
And i'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well i was raised around bar rooms and friday night dances
Ingin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place i don't belong

I said, 'jailor, hey, what y'all got me charged with?'
Well he looked at me and halfway closed one eye
Well he said, 'to mean to say
you don't remember cuttin' up some fool
with that bone handled knife?'

Repeat chorus x 2
