Old Enough To Know Better

Wade Hayes Old Enough To Know Better Lyrics
1.It's Gonna Take A Miracle

(chick rains/wade hayes)

Rainbows and falling stars couldn't change
The way things are
Or i'd be in your arms tonight
Wishing don't make dreams come true
Or i'd be holding you
I could change the past and make it right

It's gonna take a miracle
To bring you back
I've got to face the fact
I broke your heart so bad this time
Nothing else is gonna change your mind
You're gone for good i believe
It's gonna take a miracle to bring you
Back to me

So i'll climb up the stairs--get down
And say a prayer
That's the only thing i haven't tried
Lord knows i was wrong & if my faith
Is strong
I just might wake up by your side

It's gonna take a miracle
To bring you back
I've got to face the fact
I broke your heart so bad this time
Nothing else is gonna change your mind
You're gone for good i believe
It's gonna take a miracle to bring you
Back to me

It's gonna take a miracle
To bring you back
I've got to face the fact
I broke your heart so bad this time
Nothing else is gonna change your mind
You're gone for good i believe
It's gonna take a miracle to bring you
Back to me


2.Someone Had To Teach You

(harlan howard/bill hervey)

Yes i'll take you back again you knew i would
For i go loving you that's understood
But it's the first time you've come back
With tears in your eyes
Lately someone's taught you how to cry

Someone had to teach you i didn't have the heart
To hurt you just like you've been hurtin' me
Someone had to teach you things its time that you knew
Now maybe you'll be satisfied with me

Someone took your heart and rubbed it in the dirt
And you look just like a puppy when it's hurt
But you've had this lesson coming fo so very long
Our sins have a way of coming home


3.Family Reunion

(chick rains/harlan howard)

It won't make the papers
Like some reunions do
There won't be many people
Just me and him and you
I made a childhood promise
You laughed and dried your tears
I swore that i'd bring daddy home
Tomorrow he'll be here

I tracked him down in denver
Where he'd lived all alone
He was just another drifter
With a number on his stone
In his things i found a picture
Where his hands had worn it thin
A smiling bride was by his side
Now you'll be this way again

We'll have that family reunion
The one you dreamed of
Until the day you died
This time mama he's gonna stay
Forever by your side

I never really knew him
I was no more than a kid
He must have been worth something
If someone loved him like you did
It was hard without a
Man there
You did his part too
I watched your dreams fade
Through the years
But mama--this one
Is coming true

We'll have that family reunion
The one you dreamed of
Until the day you died
This time mama he's gonna stay
Forever by your side


4.Steady As She Goes

(don cook/ronnie dunn/kix brooks)

Tonight i came home late again
She didn't ask me where i've been
Her bags were packed and sitting by the door
She looked at me and said goodbye
I did my best to change her mind
But she don't want to hear it anymore

She's steady as she goes
Now she's not crying
If i said it didn't hurt
I'd be lying
Where she got the strength to leave
Heaven only knows
But she's rock steady as she goes

It tears me up to watch her go
But deep inside my heart i know
Leaveing is the only choice she has
I guess she finally got the nerve to give me just what i deserve
She's had enough and she ain't looking back

She's steady as she goes
Now she's not crying
If i said it didn't hurt
I'd be lying
Where she got the strength to leave
Heaven only knows
But she's rock steady as she goes


5.What I Meant To Say

(what i meant to say)

Last night i told a lie
When i told you i could say goodbye
Here in the light of day
What a crazy thing for me to say

What i meant to say was i love you
What's been killin' me is i hurt you
What i didn't do was hold you when i saw the teardrops fall
What i should've said was i'm sorry
What i should've said was forgive me
What i meant to say was what i didn't say at all

Last night i had a dream
You were really walking out on me
I woke up scared to death
Please forget about the things i said

What i meant to say was i love you
What's been killin' me is i hurt you
What i didn't do was hold you when i saw the teardrops fall
What i should've said was i'm sorry
What i should've said was forgive me
What i meant to say was what i didn't say at all

What i meant to say was what i didn't say at all


6.Don't Stop

(chick rains/tom shapiro)

Girl, you've got me so confused
I don't know what i'm gonna do
Part of me says take it slow
And part of me says let it go

Don't - stop
Don't - stop
Don't stop doing what you're doing to me

I think we're moving way too fast
We need to take it slow and make it last
I can't keep holding back
When you keep doing things like that

Don't - stop
Don't - stop
Don't stop doing what you're doing to me

But i've watched the flame of love go out
Burning love takes a toll
I don't want to lose control

Don't - stop
Don't - stop
Don't stop doing what you're doing to me


7.Kentucky Bluebird

(don cook/wally wilson)

Blown down the highway
By two different winds
Lord only knows
When i'll see you again
You're 'bout as close
As the moon up above
You're my long distance love

Kentucky bluebird
I heard your song today
But when i try to touch you
You fly away

Blue is a feeling i'm learning so well
Turn on the tv
In another hotel
Turn down the volume
And stare at the wall
God i wish you would call

Kentucky bluebird
I heard your song today
But when i try to touch you
You fly away

How i hate the miles between us
They get longer each day
I had this dream
And you should have seen us
Holding each other
And drifting away

Kentucky bluebird
I heard your song today
But when i try to touch you
You fly away


8.Old Enough To Know Better

(chick rains/wade hayes)

Neon lights draw me like a moth to a flame
Mama raised me right
That just leaves me to blame
When i get a little sideways on a honky-tonk tear
I'm old enough to know better
But i'm still too young to care

Cowgirls with an attitude
Boots and tight blue jeans
Take my mind off doin' right, and doin' other things
When the weekend's gone
I won't have a dime to spare
I'm old enough to know better
But i'm still too young to care

Monday morning i wake up
With a hammer in my hand
The boss-man yelling something at me
That i don't understand
I don't know how i got to work
But i sure know i'm there
I'm old enough to know better
But i'm still too young to care

When the eagle flies on friday
Well he barely leaves the ground
I've got just enough left to get dressed up
And head back to town
Boss says 'son, having all that fun
Won't get you anywhere'
I'm old enough to know better
But i'm still too young to care

Monday morning i wake up
With a hammer in my hand
The boss-man yelling something at me
That i don't understand
I don't know how i got to work
But i sure know i'm there
I'm old enough to know better
But i'm still too young to care

I'm old enough to know better
But i'm still too young to care


9.I'm Still Dancin' With You

(chick rains/wade hayes)

I'm sittin' here surrounded by people i know
The beer's cold and the music's good and loud
That used to be enough to put a smile on my face
But tonight i just feel lost in this crowd

There's a brunette on the dance floor
That smiled a time or two
So i got up and asked her for a dance
But when she put her arms around me
And i held her i knew
It was just too soon to take another chance

'cause i'm still dancin' with you
I know we said we were through
But i keep holdin' on
Letting go is just too hard to do
Even when i'm holding someone new
I'm still dancin' with you

When the song was over, i held on a little longer
Deep inside i knew that it was wrong
I could hold her in my arms for the rest of the night
But i'd just be leading her on

'cause i'm still dancin' with you
I know we said we were through
But i keep holdin' on
Letting go is just too hard to do
Even when i'm holding someone new
I'm still dancin' with you

Even when i'm holding someone new
I'm still dancin' with you


10.Don't Make Me Come To Tulsa

(don cook)

Don't make me come to tulsa
You know i hate the flight
I ain't been back to oklahoma baby
Since you said goodbye
I heard a rumor you missed me
I hope to god it's a lie
You know how much i love you
Don't make me come to tulsa

You had me eatin' right out of your hand
I was your genuine cowboy man
You threw me over for another guy
I ran dallas on a one way flight
Now i'm accustomed to the shape i'm in
Don't take me down again

Don't make me come to tulsa
You know i hate the flight
I ain't been back to oklahoma baby
Since you said goodbye
I heard a rumor you missed me
I hope to god it's a lie
You know how much i love you
Don't make me come to tulsa

I'd love to hold you in my arms tonight
I'd like to think that you'd treat me right
If i believed you'd really wanted me
I'd crawl to tulsa on my achin' knees
But you'd just hurt me like you did before
Can't take them blues no more

Don't make me come to tulsa
You know i hate the flight
I ain't been back to oklahoma baby
Since you said goodbye
I heard a rumor you missed me
I hope to god it's a lie
You know how much i love you
Don't make me come to tulsa

You know how much i love you
Don't make me come to tulsa
