Turn Me Loose

Vince Gill Turn Me Loose Lyrics
1.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


2.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


3.Don't Say That You Love Me

I'm gonna tell you right up front
So you will understand
I ain't gonna waste your time
'cause i might not be your man
We won't go makin' promises
'cause you know it just ain't right
A promise is a promise, girl
And tonight is just tonight
Tonight is just tonight

Chorus:
Don't say that you love me
If it don't feel right
Don't say that you love me
Just hold me tonight

There ain't no need for broken hearts
I know in time they mend
Any fool can fall in love
It's so easy to pretend
Don't tell me i'm the only one
If it doesn't mean a thing
Let's take tonight for what it's worth
And see what tomorrow brings
And see what tomorrow brings

Chorus (to fade)


4.Waitin' For Your Love

Well i've been spendin' all my spare time
Sittin' home alone
Listenin' for the front door
And starin' at the phone

Ever since that night in texas
You're all that's in my brain
And long distance ain't the answer
My little heart can't stand the strain

Chorus:
I'm a waitin' for your love
Waitin' every night and day
Hopin' you'll come by and get me, baby
Take me far away
I'm a waitin' for your love
Girl, i ain't afraid to say
That you're all i ever wanted
So come and steal my heart away

Well i was never one to beg
You know i always played it cool... so cool
But you've got me on my knees now
You're the exception to the rule

Well there ain't no turnin' back
You know i'm too far gone
So i keep the front door open
And keep the porch light on

Chorus (x 2)

You're all i ever wanted
So come and steal my heart away


5.Half A Chance

Chorus:
Give me half a chance to make you love me
Give me half a chance to make you stay
Give me half a chance before you leave me
Half a chance before you turn and walk away

I'm holdin' on just like you told me
I put my heart right on the line
You know your love it really sold me
But i never had the chance to make you mine

Chorus

You said you'd never say it's over
Well i guess my heart can't beat your pride
You said i'd always be your lover
But you're gone and my tears still haven't dried

Chorus

Half a chance before you turn and walk away


6.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


7.'til The Best Comes Along

Now i ain't the best lookin' guy in the world
And i ain't got much money at all
But when our eyes met, i'll never forget
And for you i could easily fall

Chorus:
So why don't we just keep on dancin'
While the band sings an old country song
Well i won't be depressed
If i ain't the best
But will i do 'til the best comes along

I ain't got a mansion on some mountain top
And i ain't got no long limousine
But i've got a heart as warm as the sun
And could love you like you've never seen

Chorus

No, i won't be depressed
If i ain't the best
But will i do 'til the best comes along


8.Livin' The Way I Do

Well i've gont to stop livin' the way i do
And give my heart back to you
All those nights away from home
Caused my lonely heart to roam
Now i've got start livin' the way i do

I've spent a lifetime hurting you
And i expect someday you'll say we're through
It ain't two late for me to change
So please dono't write our final page
Still i've got to stop livin' the way i do

I've gone from honeymoons to heartaches
From faithful love to a fool
From hangin' out in honkey tonks
With any girl but you

Well i've got to stop livin' the way i do
And give my heart back to you
All those nights away from home
Caused my lonely heart to roam
Now i've got to stop livin' the way i do

I've said all that i can say
But you turned and walked away
It's too late to stop livin' the way i do
