On A Good Night

Wade Hayes On A Good Night Lyrics
1.This Is The Life For Me

(wade hayes/chick rains)

I was born in oklahoma in 1969
My daddy played the honky tonks
Out on the county line
One night he took me with him
Through those swingin' doors
And i heard that country music
Saw that crowded dance floor
Dad made fifty dollars
And i stayed up 'til three
And i thought
This is the life for me

By the time i turned fourteen
I was pickin' lead guitar
Everyday i went to school
And at night i played the bars
Two or three years later
I noticed something strange
All the looks that i was gettin'
From the girls began to change
I knew right then and there
What i was gonna be
This is the life for me

This is the life
The only one i want to know
Everyday another town
And every night another show
Ever since i was a boy
I've had this crazy dream
Now i know it was meant to be
This is the life
This is the life for me

Well i tried to go to college
Just to see if i was wrong
But that ain't the kind of knowledge
That helps you write a country song
I got my education on the wild side of life
Through a cloud of smoke so thick
That you could cut it with a knife
There was no doubt about it
As far as i could see
This is the life for me

This is the life
The only one i want to know
Everyday another town
And every night another show
Ever since i was a boy
I've had this crazy dream
Now i know it was meant to be
This is the life
This is the life for me

Yeah this is the life
This is the life for me.


2.Hurts Don't It

(greg holland/jim mcbride)

You've got a lot of nerve comin' here tonight
But that's alright come on in
That look tells me that something's hurt you deep
And you want me back again

Now you don't have to tell me how it feels
There ain't nothin' about lonesome i don't know
And wakin' up alone's a bitter pill
You take one every day and swallow slow
I wish i could help you but my heart tells me not to
It still ain't found the trust you threw away
So you can't have it back no matter how bad you want it
Hurts don't it
It hurts don't it

I think you should know it's all i can do
To look at you and not give in
I wish you hadn't made forgiving you so hard
On my heart but you did

Now you don't have to tell me how it feels
There ain't nothin' about lonesome i don't know
And wakin' up alone's a bitter pill
You take one every day and swallow slow
I wish i could help you but my heart tells me not to
It still ain't found the trust you threw away
So you can't have it back no matter how bad you want it
Hurts don't it
It hurts don't it


3.Our Time Is Coming

(kix brooks/ronnie dunn)

Times are hard and the money's tight
Day to day we fight the fight
Nothing new, the same old grind
Uphill all the way

Boss man says forget the raise
Preacher says to keep the faith
Good things come to those who wait
Tomorrow's another day

Our time is coming
Where or when the good lord only knows
Our time is coming
When this road we're on will turn to the street of gold

As long as we keep love alive
Something tells me we'll survive
It's the little things that'll get us by
And hold us together

I feel it when you hold me close
Baby we got more than most
Steady through the highs and lows
We'll go on forever

Our time is coming
Where or when the good lord only knows
Our time is coming
When this road we're on will turn to the street of gold

Our time is coming
Where or when the good lord only knows
Our time is coming
When this road we're on will turn to the street of gold

When this road we're on will turn to the street of gold


4.Where Do I Go To Start All Over

(wade hayes/chick rains)

I drove around last night, and tried with all my might
To leave the past behind, cause you stayed on my mind
So i stopped for a drink, i never stopped to think
That it wouldn't work, it just made it worse
So i came on back home, i hadn't changed a thing
And sat here all alone, missing you and wondering

Where do i go to start all over
From your memory
Where do i go to start all over
When in your arms is where i won't be

I'd take some things and leave, if the change of scenery
Would do me any good, like i know it should
I'd still be missing you, what goods a different view
To a broken heart, we'd still be apart
Someday i'll find the answer, to this mystery
But tonight the same old question, just keeps on haunting me

Where do i go to start all over
From your memory
Where do i go to start all over
When in your arms is where i won't be

Where do i go to start all over
When in your arms is where i won't be


5.My Side Of Town

(wade hayes/chick rains)

Well i heard it through the grapevine
I guess it must be true
I heard that crowd you're running with
Has changed your attitude
It's been a month of sundays
Since you've been around
But you always had a good time
On my side of town

I knew that you were born to
The finer things in life
Caviar and foreign cars and bright big city lights
Now you're out there dancin'
In a fancy evening gown
But you always had a good time
On my side of town

Don't forget the one who really loves you
When the glamour starts to let you down
And i'll be right there waitin'
'til you come back around
'cause you always had a good time
On my side of town

I still dream about you
Every time the music starts
I still hold you close to me
Even though we're far apart
If i ever cross your mind
You know where i'm bound
'cause you always had a good time
On my side of town

Don't forget the one who really loves you
When the glamour starts to let you down
I'll be right here waitin'
'till you come back around
'cause you always had a good time
On my side of town

You always had a good time
On my side of town


6.I Still Do

(marty stuart/chick rains)

Last night when i touched you
It brought back memories
Of the way it felt the first time
I held you close to me
I gave you my heart
And swore i'd always love you
And i still do

And when i closed my eyes
You were waiting there
Standin' in the moon light
With the wind in your hair
You said there would come a time
I wouldn't dream of you
But i still do

And i still wake up every morning
And i thank god above
Out of all the people on this earth
He gave me to love
Don't you know my heart
And soul belong to you
I swear it's true

So when you asked if i still need you
After all this time
I can't believe that thought
Would ever cross your mind
The answer is so simple
I just thought you knew
I still do

I still do


7.It's Over My Head

You could've had anyone you wanted
That just goes to show how crazy love can be
Look at us now baby who would have thought it
I don't know why you chose me

It's over my head and i'm six feet tall
This beats anything i ever saw
Well i don't see what you see in me at all
It's over my head and i'm six feet tall

You could be riding in a big mercedes
But here you are with me in a pickup truck
I never had a way with the ladies
So how'd i fool ol' ladyluck

It's over my head and i'm six feet tall
This beats anything i ever saw
Well i don't see what you see in me at all
It's over my head and i'm six feet tall

Lovin' you comes easy girl my heard is in your hands
It's why you take a chance on me that i can't understand

It's over my head and i'm six feet tall
This beats anything i ever saw
Well i don't see what you see in me at all
It's over my head and i'm six feet tall

It's over my head and i'm six feet tall


8.The Room

(chris waters/tom shapiro)

When i pull in the drive where your car used to be
It doesn't hurt me like it used to
I can walk through the door, and not wonder anymore
Where you are, like i used to
I can go down the hall, see the pictures on the wall
And not miss you
But i just can't bring myself to go into..

The room
Where i spent every night with you
And the light of the moon
Came through the window
And i held you
We were so close
And it's just too soon
For me to go into the room

I'd remember too much if i opened that door
And i'm not sure if i could face it
The bed's emptiness would remind me you're with
Someone else, and i couldn't take it
So, i sleep on the couch in our living room now
Since our love died
'cause i'm still not ready yet to go inside...

The room
Where i spent every night with you
And the light of the moon
Came through the window
And i held you
We were so close
And it's just too soon
For me to go into the room

Where the light of the moon
Came through the window
And i held you
We were so close
And it's just too soon
For me to go into the room


9.Undo The Right

(willie nelson/hank cochran)

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 tomorrow
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 tomorrow
If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right

If you can't undo the wrong
Undo the right


10.On A Good Night

(paul nelson/don cook/larry boone)

On a good night i could hop in my truck
Round up my friends and with any kind of luck
We could end up howling at a harvest moon
On a good night i could put on my hat
Head down to the honky tonk and dance
But on a real good night i meet a women like you

Brown hair blue eyes once in a life time countrified kind of
girl
Heart-breaking chance-taking wild little love making
Shaking up my world
Hey on a good night i can picture the day
All my dreams come true
But on a real good night i meet a women like you

On a good night i can drive to the lake
Turn on the radio and find george strait
Then go play a little game of eight ball pool
On a good night i might be found
Draggin with the boys cross town
But on a real good night i meet a women like you

Brown hair blue eyes once in a life time countrified kind of
girl
Heart-breaking chance-taking wild little love making
Shaking up my world
Hey on a good night i can picture the day
All my dreams come true
But on a real good night i meet a women like you

Brown hair blue eyes once in a life time countrified kind of
girl
Heart-breaking chance-taking wild little love making
Shaking up my world
Hey on a good night i can picture the day
All my dreams come true
But on a real good night i meet a women like you
