1. Comfort Me

Wake me my lady don't let me sleep
Open my eyes to the wonders you keep
Let me look at you see how you shine
I'll fall in love like I've done every time

Lay me in soft green grass
Down where the river runs
Under the mountain caps
Gold with the setting sun

Walk me along the bay
Beyond the verdant trees
Carry me with your grace
Forever comfort me

You walk on water searching the east
The souls of the masses pass at your feet
Looking up at you with tears in their eyes
Fathers of fathers of fathers gone by

Walk me down old main streets
Ride me down rusty rails
Fields full of summer wheat
Peppered with rounded bales

Steeples where church bells ring
Lighthouses by the sea
Reach out through gathered storms
Faithfully comfort me

I am your tired I am your poor in spirit
Yearning to breathe, breathe free
Breathe free

Lay me in soft green grass
Down where the river runs
Under the mountain caps
Gold with the setting sun

Walk me along the bay
Beyond the verdant trees
Carry me with your grace
Forever comfort me

Walk me down old main streets
Ride me down rusty rails
Fields full of summer wheat
Peppered with rounded bales

Steeples where church bells ring
Lighthouses by the sea
Reach out through gathered storms
Faithfully comfort me

Hey ... Comfort me ... Comfort Me
Comfort me ... Comfort Me

2. Tickin' Away

The clock above the bar
Is telling me it's 12:15
And it's not such a gentle reminder
That I'm where I shouldn't be

I just keep waiting for something to happen
Waiting for somebody to come walking in
Somebody as perfect as you were
So I can try it again

(But) Chances are so hard to come by
And the second one is impossible to find
The clock keep running
And the odds keep getting higher
That it's all just a fantasy of mine

But I shouldn't be thinking about it
I shouldn't be worried about it
It's just a clock on the wall
But it's ticking away
It's ticking away
It's ticking away
It's ticking away

I suppose I should cut all my losses
Go home with a six-pack of beer
There ain't nobody in the world like you baby
If there was, she wouldn't be coming in here

But I shouldn't be thinking about it
I shouldn't be worried about it
It's just a clock on the wall
But it's ticking away
It's ticking away
It's just a clock on the wall
But it's ticking away

Yeah, it's ticking away
It's ticking away
It's just a clock on the wall
But it's ticking away

I suppose I should cut all my losses
Go home with a six-pack of beer

3. Red Ragtop

I was twenty and she was eighteen,
We were just about as wild as we were green,
In the ways of the world.
Well she picked me up in that red rag top,
We were free of the folks and hiding from the cops,
On a summer night, running all the red lights.

We parked way out in a clearing in a grove,
And the night was as hot as a coal burning stove.
We were cooking with gas
knew it had to last

In the back of that red rag top
She said please don’t stop

Well the very first time her mother met me
Her green eyed girl had been a mother to be, for two weeks.
I was out of a job and she was in school,
And life was fast and the world was cruel,
We were young and wild, we decided not to have a child
So we did what we did and we tried to forget
And we swore up and down, there would be no regrets in the morning light,
But on the way home that night

On the back of that red rag top
She said please don’t stop
Loving me

We took one more trip around the sun,
But it was all make believe in the end,
No I can’t say where she is today,
I can’t remember who I was back then.

Well you do what you do and you pay for your sins,
And there’s no such thing as what might have been
That’s a waste of time, drive you outta’ your mind.
I was stopped at a red light just yesterday,
Beside a young girl in a cabriolet and her eyes were green,
And I was in an old scene

I was back in that red rag top
On the day she stopped
Loving me (2x)

4. That's Why God Made Mexico

Margie said, "Roy you ain't listening to me,
and I got a whole lot more to say."
Roy just crossed the floor and picked up his car keys
She ain't seen or heard from him to this day

And that's why god made Mexico
A place where we can lay low
And the Cuervo goes down nice and slow
And the warm wind blows
That's why god made Mexico

And Betty fixed Joe dinner every night half past six
'cause thats when he'd roll through that door
Sixteen years and not a thank you from his lips (hah)
She don't fix him dinner no more

And that's why God mad Mexico
A place where we can lay low
Where the Cuervo goes down nice and slow
And the warms winds blow
That's why God made Mexico

Life is sweet in a border town
You learn to let your hair down
And you don't make trouble
You learn to dance the fandango

You change your name and you change your face
Get used to beans and chili paste
And you learn to live and love life in the slow lane

And that's why God made Mexico
A place where we can lay low
Maybe Monterey or Acapulco
Anywhere the warm winds blow
Don't you know
That's why God made Mexico
That's why God made Mexico

 

[ Tim McGraw lyrics ]

5. Watch The Wind Blow By

Creek goes rippling by
I've been barefooting all day with my baby
Brown leaves have started falling
Leading the way

I like it best just like this
Doing nothing all the way
So let's lay down in the tall grass
Dreaming away

And all I wanna do is let it be and be with you
And watch the wind blow by
And all I wanna see is you and me go on forever
Like the clear blue sky
Slowly, there's only
You and I
And all I want to do is watch the wind blow by

Girl, you know you told me not so long ago
To let it come, then let it pass
And all your troubles and your sorrows
They won't last

So let me kiss you now, little darling
Beneath this autumn moon
Cold wind, another season
Will be here soon

And all I wanna do is let it be and be with you
And watch the wind blow by
And all I wanna see is you and me go on forever
Like the clear blue sky
Slowly, there's only
You and I
And all I want to do is watch the wind blow by
All I wanna do is watch the wind blow by
All I wanna do is watch the wind blow by

 

[ Tim McGraw lyrics ]

6. Illegal

I put my money on love again
At a hundred to one
I don't mind losin' I'll just try 'till I win
Or see how close I can come

CHORUS:
Oh it should be illegal
It gets me so high
I can fly like an eagle
Night after night

I know people who have thrown in the towel
Just 'cause they've lost once or twice
But it takes a believer to put all this faith
In the toss of the dice

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

Night after night after night....

 

[ Tim McGraw lyrics ]

7. Sleep Tonight

Hey darkness, don't you try to steal the moment
Or close my eyes
I won't let you in
Cause this feels too damn good to me
All I want and all I need
Is her touch again and again and again

I don't wanna go to sleep tonight
I don't want anything to change
I don't wanna wake up and find
A different day
Yeah she makes me free
Here between the day and the twilight
I don't want to go to sleep tonight

Time, stop dead in your tracks
Turn around and don't look back
And just let us be
I wanna take this time and soak it up
Forever wouldn't be long enough
If you knew her you'd agree and agree with me

I don't wanna go to sleep tonight
I don't want anything to change
I don't wanna wake up and find
A different day
Yeah she makes me free
Here between the day and the twilight
I don't want to go
I don't want to go to sleep tonight

I wish the sun would just forget
To come up
And leave us wrapped up in this love

I don't wanna go to sleep tonight
I don't want anything to change
I don't wanna wake up and find
A different day
Yeah she makes me free
Here between the day and the twilight
I don't want to go to sleep tonight

 

[ Tim McGraw lyrics ]

8. I Know How To Love You Well

It's been a long time
Since we walked that aisle together
And you became my wife
And who would've thought
You would fall for someone just like me
For the best days of my life

I may not be a poet
Cause I ain't so good on words
I may not stand before you
Like a knight in shining armor
I may not be the best of singers
There's better guys I've heard
But I know how to love
I know how to love you well

You got your faults
And I don't need to tell you I've got mine
Well I guess they all even out
Wherever I ride
The thought of you turns water into wine
And somehow I lose a crowd

I may not drive a fancy car
I don't know what it's for
I may not be the one
Who gets to shower you in diamonds
I may not be a rich man
But you can't call me poor
Cause I know how to love
I know how to love you well

As we skip the light Fandango
From that old jukebox by the bar
Now honey, don't it make you wonder
How we ever got this far

I may not be a poet
Cause I ain't got much to say
I may not stand before you
Like that knight in shining armor
I may not be the best of singers
Honey that's ok
Cause I know how to love
I know how to love
I know how to love
You well

 

[ Tim McGraw lyrics ]

9. Sing Me Home

I fell by the wayside
I fell on my knees
Crying, why was I so hard to please?
I stood at the crossroads
Took a long look at me
Sometimes you don't know where you're from til you leave

And I've been out there searching
For a place where I belong
And on my way I heard my song
Let it sing me home

Sun on my shoulders and the wind at my back
Bound and determined to get back on track
To where the heart is
Where it's been all along
Sometimes you don't know what you've got til it's gone
Gone gone gone

And I've been out there searching
For a place where I belong
And on my way I heard my song
Let it sing me home

And I've been out there searching
For a place where I belong
And on my way I heard my song
Let it sing me home

 

[ Tim McGraw lyrics ]

10. She's My Kind Of Rain

She's my kind of rain
Like love in a drunken sky
She's confetti falling
Down all night

She sits quietly there
Like water in a jar
Says, Baby why are you
Trembling like you are

So I wait
And I try
I confess like a child

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

She's the sun set shadows
She's like Rembrandt's light
She's the history that's made at night
She's my lost companion
She's my dreaming tree
Together in this brief eternity
Summer days, winter snows
She's all things to behold

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

So I wait
And I try
I confess all my crimes

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

She's my kind of rain
Oh, rain on me
She's my kind of rain
 

 

[ Tim McGraw lyrics ]

11. Real Good Man

Girl you've never known no one like me
Up there in your high society
They might tell you I'm no good
Girl they need to understand
Just who I am
I may be a real bad boy
But baby I'm a real good man

I may drink too much and play too loud
Hang out with a rough and rowdy crowd
That don't mean I don't respect
My Mama or my Uncle Sam
Yes sir, yes ma'am
I may be a real bad boy
But baby I'm a real good man

I might have a reckless streak
At least a country-mile wide
If you're gonna run with me
It's gonna be a wild ride
When it comes to loving you
I've got velvet hands
I'll show you how a real bad boy
Can be a real good man

I take all the good times I can get
I'm too young for growing up just yet
Ain't much I can promise you
'Cept to do the best I can
I'll be damned
I may be a real bad boy
But baby I'm a real good man

I may be a real bad boy
Oh but baby I'm a real good man
Yes I am

 

[ Tim McGraw lyrics ]

12. All We Ever Find

Say exactly how you feel
Right now your free to say it all
There is no one here to judge you
I only love you
You're free to close your eyes and fall
You can trust me this is real
Say exactly how you feel

C H O U R S
Tell me all your dreams
What you think love means
We'll lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment might be
All we ever find

Every breath of who you are
Tells a story that I love
I have finally found the truth in what I see in you
And what I feel with every touch
The simple beauty of your heart
In every breath of who you are

Tell me all your dreams
What you think love means
We'll lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment might be
All we ever find

Tell me all your dreams
What you think love means
We'll lock the world outside
Embrace the gift of time
Promising forever
Knowing that this moment might be
All we ever find

Promising forever
Knowing that this moment might be
All we ever find

 

[ Tim McGraw lyrics ]

13. Tiny Dancer

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady,
She was a seamstress for the band;
Pretty eyed, high rate smile,
She'll marry a music man.

Ballerina, you must have seen her
Dancin in the sand;
And now she's in me, always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand.

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God;
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad.

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums.

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near,
Only you and you can hear me
When I sing softly, slowly.

Chorus:
Hold me closer tiny dancer,
Count the headlights on the highway,
Lay me down in sheets of linen,
You had a busy day today.

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady,
She was seamstress for the band;
Pretty eyed, pirate smile,
Hear she married a music man.

Ballerina, you must have seen her
She was dancin in the sand.
And now she's in me, always with me,
Tiny dancer in my hand.

Chorus x2
