I Hang My Hat in Texas
03:14
|

I hang my hat in Texas
But my heart's in Michigan
So no matter where I am
I can't wait to get home again
My family's here beside me
But I got more in another place
And no matter where I go
I'm always missin'
Somebody's face
Came down here two years prior
But it feels like yesterday
I didn't want to come down South
Didn't want to move away
No matter what I'm doin'
I wanna be in another place
Cause no matter where I am
I'm always missin'
Somebody's face
Been nine years since I came here
And it's been a change of pace
Now no matter where I go
I always see a friendly face
So I hang my hat in Texas
And I visit Michigan
And I'm happy 'cause I know
I'll always find a friend
I hang my hat in Texas
But my heart goes everywhere
I've given up on leavin'
Yeah, I think I'll stay right here
I've got lots of friends and family
Wherever I may roam
Now no matter where I go
I always know
It feels like home

I Treated You Badly
02:42
|
|||
I'm tired of walkin' on eggshells
Afraid I'll break the silence
And get your snide remarks instead
I'm tired of makin' excuses
Findin' reasons to avoid you
'Cause I know what you'll want in bed
I treated you badly and you flew
But I can't say I mind
'Cause you treated me badly, too
You treated me badly, too
I don't like wearin' what you want
I wish that you would love me
For the woman I am inside
You thought that you were entitled
Took me too many years to figure out
You'd never be satisfied
I treated you badly, now I'm free
But I can't say I mind
'Cause that's how you treated me
Didn't like how you treated me
Sometimes I still dream that you're nice to me
Then I wake up and remember the truth
You treated me like a whore
Did you think that I wouldn't want something more?
I'm sorry for the things I've done
I didn't mean to hurt you
I really didn't think you'd care
You didn't want conversation
The only thing you seemed concerned about
Was my underwear
I treated you badly, now we're through
But I can't say I mind
'Cause you treated me badly, too
You treated me badly, too

Before You Go
03:40
|
|||
Walk with me once more before you go
I know I'll miss you so
Hold me one more time before you walk on out my door
'Cause when you leave I'll still be wanting more
Play me one more song before you part
And start breaking my heart
What good does it do to hear you love me every day
If you would choose to leave me anyway
Kiss my lips goodbye before you leave
Believe that I will grieve
Once upon a time I thought that we would never end
But life is not a fairy tale my friend

I Wish I Remembered You
02:44
|
|||
Stories about grandfathers make me feel sad
I wish I remembered you, Granddad
All I have is a letter and a vague memory
We lost you when I was just three
But I'll meet you in Heaven and see you again
We can create all our memories then
We'll walk in the gardens and we'll walk on the sand
And I will hold your hand
I recently learned that you used to play jazz
I wish I remembered you, Granddad
I'd like to have heard the piano you played
The music that you made
But I'll meet you in Heaven and see you again
We can create all our memories then
We'll write music together and you'll play the songs
And I will sing along
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Sometimes I wonder what we would have had
I wish I remembered you, Granddad
Would I make you smile? Would you have been proud?
Would you tell me you love me out loud?
I'll meet you in Heaven and see you again
We can create all our memories then
You'll share all your wisdom and I'll take it in
When I come see you again
We'll create all our memories then

We’ll See
04:06
|
|||
Every day without you is agony
Oh how I wish that our love could be
Maybe some year things will work out for us
We'll see, we'll see, we'll see
I miss you in the morning and I miss you in the night
I miss you when I'm driving and at every red stoplight
I miss you drinking chocolate shakes and when I eat ice cream
Oh why'd we have to end this dream?
I understand your need to stay
And be with your family every day
When children grow maybe we can be
We'll see, we'll see, we'll see
I miss you in the morning and I miss you in the night
I miss you when I'm driving and at every red stoplight
I miss you drinking chocolate shakes and when I eat ice cream
Oh why'd you have to end our dream?
In your arms was my favorite place
Never felt so loved as in your embrace
Your happy smile, I also miss
And your kiss, your kiss, your kiss
I miss you in the morning and I miss you in the night
I miss you when I'm driving and at every red stoplight
I miss you drinking chocolate shakes and when I eat ice cream
Oh do we have to end this dream?
We'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see
We'll see, we'll see, we'll see

I'm tired of leaning on my friends
I'm ready for my sadness to end
I wanna feel the way that life's supposed to be
I wanna feel ok instead of pretend
I need some solo time for a while
To find myself and reasons to smile
I appreciate the help you tried to give me
When I was down you went the extra mile
But I'm strong enough now to cry alone
I think it's time for you to go home
I love that you care and I'm glad you were there
But I'm strong enough now to cry alone
It's time to build a new life for me
And learn to enjoy alone willingly
It's time to embrace the adventure
Instead of feelin' like a lost ship at sea
'Cause I'm strong enough now to cry alone
I think it's time for me to go roam
I love what we shared and I'm glad you were there
But I'm strong enough now to cry alone
And when I'm healed and whole again
I won't forget how you helped me mend
How you helped me find strength within myself
Maybe someday you'll lean on me, friend
Til you're strong enough to cry alone
Til you say it's time for me to go home
I'll be there and you know I'll care
Til you're strong enough to cry alone

Idea of You
04:56
|
|||
I love the idea of you
You love the idea of me, too
Hold my hand
Squeeze it tight
Tuck me into bed at night
Teach me right
Teach me wrong
Teach me life is filled with song
Work all day
Get ahead
I'm listening to what you said
Keep me safe
Make me brave
Chase all my monsters away
I don't want life without you
I just want you to face
I'll go through my life at my pace
Go to school
And when you're done
Make sure you'll make it on your own
Make me smart
Make me strong
I promise I won't stay too long
So alike
It drives us mad
Can't we see we're not so bad
Before our hearts
Turn to stone
It's time I moved out on my own
I don't want life without you
I just want you to know
You've got to start letting me go
Let's set a date
But not too soon
Can hardly stand to share a room
Push my buttons
Make you mad
When I go home we'll both be glad
I miss you now
When you're away
But when I'm near can't stand to stay
You make it clear
I don't belong
Why can't we just get along?
I don't want life without you
I just want to see
You need to accept me as me
We're older now
We've learned some things
Enjoy the patience wisdom brings
How much time
Til our lives end?
I hope I will see you again
I don't want life without you
I just need you to see
That I'm doin' fine bein' me
I don't want life without you
I just need you to know
I'm doin' just fine on my own
And who'd you think taught me to?
I love the idea of you
You love the idea of me, too

Miles Away
05:54
|
|||
We both grew up in the same small place
I never laid eyes upon your face
But that's just as well
We couldn't have cared back then
Separated by only a mile
We both had different things makin' us smile
And it wasn't each other
We may as well have been...
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
I've been miles and miles and miles and miles
To get where I am today
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
How could we have known back then
That our paths would cross someday?
We went on about our lives
I took a husband and you took a wife
And we both moved away
And the years went past
I created life twice and you had a kid
And I can sure say I'm glad that we did
I love bein' Mom
But they grow up so fast
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
I've been miles and miles and miles and miles
To get where I am today
Our hearts were miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
How could we have known back then
That our paths would cross someday?
Life got hard even though we tried
Along the way both of our marriages died
And we both were alone
And both so far from home
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
I've been miles and miles and miles and miles
To get where I am today
Our hearts were miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
How could we have known back then
That our paths would cross someday?
Then one night hangin' out on Facebook
We met on a wall; we were two lucky ducks
And we hit it off
There was no question 'bout it
We made plans to meet up close
Guess we both thought we had nothin' to lose
So we went to the desert
And that's where we started
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
We traveled miles and miles and miles and miles
To meet each other that day
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
All of our friends wondered if maybe
We should be locked away
One week together and we couldn't let go
We see what it means when they say you just know
Yeah we fell in love
Oh we had no doubt
A long distance love makes it hard to hold on
But it's much better than havin' you gone
I want you in my life
We'll always work it out
Though we're miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
My heart feels close to yours though we're physically
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
I look forward to a time
When I can see you each and every day
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
I ran miles and miles and miles and miles
Thinkin' about you today
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
I look forward to a time
When I can see you each and every day
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
Randon Myles and miles and miles and miles
I'm thinkin' about you today
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
I look forward to a time
When I can see you each and every day
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
My heart feels close to yours though we're physically
Miles and miles away
Miles and miles and miles and miles away (miles and miles away)
I look forward to a time
When I can see you each and every day

Humpty Dumpty
04:52
|
|||
Humpty Dumpty climbed up a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the Sky's horses and all the Sky's men
Put Humpty Dumpty together again
You're not the you
They thought they knew
You're more than everything
That you've been through
Your shattered heart
So torn apart
Bet you never thought
That it could restart
You see right past
The me I know
You see inside the me
I'm willing to show
My shattered heart
So torn apart
You grabbed on tight to me
Oh you sure are smart
Amazing man
Amazing soul
I love to listen to you
And your rock and roll
The way you play
That saxophone
The things that you've accomplished
All on your own
You only made
One promise true
You said that I would grow
If I got involved with you
Our shattered hearts
So torn apart
The illusion of separation
Now departs
Life can be hard
Life can be fun
We're lucky to have found
What we've begun
Adventure now
See what unfolds
You never know
What the future holds
Humpty Dumpty, do what you can
Humpty Dumpty, you're a great man
All the queen's horses and all the queen's men
Can never compare to you, boyfriend
Can never compare to you, boyfriend

Absolutely Everything
02:04
|
|||
I would've given you absolutely everything
Don't know what you wanted but it was never me
I would've given you absolutely everything
Can't you imagine how happy we'd be?
I would've given you absolutely everything
Boy, you know I've got so much to give
But it means nothing without someone to share it with
Life all alone ain't no good way to live
I would've given you absolutely everything
Good-hearted woman with brains, bucks, and beauty
I would've given you absolutely everything
All you had to do was get down on one knee
You think you're a good catch
And baby I think that's true
But this is your loss
'Cause I'm a good catch, too
I've got absolutely everything but you
I would've given you absolutely everything
Don't know what you wanted but it was never me
I would've given you absolutely everything
But I guess now you'll never see
You want absolutely everything but me (absolutely everything)
You want absolutely everything but me (absolutely everything)
You want absolutely everything but me (absolutely everything)
You want absolutely everything but me (absolutely everything)

I Hang My Hat (Reprise)
01:30
|
|||
Now sixteen years have passed by
Two childhoods almost gone
Soon my kids will leave the nest
And I'll be all alone
I've enjoyed my time in Texas
But I think that it should end
Someday I wanna go back home
And hang my hat in Michigan
