[ Vince Gill Lyrics ]

Turn Me Loose


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

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 you can't see it's over
That's really a shame
Well our love didn't make it
But 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

You better turn me loose
Well 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

You better turn me loose
Well 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
Turn me loose you know I'll make it anyway

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

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

Oh Carolina, if I'd only known
Oh Carolina, I would have never gone
Oh Carolina, if I'd only known
Oh Carolina, I would have never gone
I would have never gone

Victim of Life's Circumstances


It's 6:05am 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

And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dances
Singin' 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?"

And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dances
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong
And I'm a victim of life's circumstances
Well I was raised around bar rooms and Friday night dances
Singin' them old country songs
And half the time ending up some place I don't belong






 

[ Vince Gill Lyrics ]

Lucy Dee


I've been sittin' here talkin' at you all night long
Now honey you still come off cool
Well you could have walked away instead you're leadin' me on
Lucy who you tryin' to fool

Yeah Lucy Dee
You ain't got to run that line on me
Well it's plain to see
That you ain't all that you're made out to be
Well you can tell all your friends
That you finally met your equal Lucy Dee

You've known all along just what I'm talkin' about
Well you knew someday there'd come a man
Who wouldn't keep on givin' 'til he finally gave out
Lucy honey here I stand

Yeah Lucy Dee
You ain't got to run that line on me
Well it's plain to see
That you ain't all that you're made out to be
Well you can tell all your friends
That you finally met your equal Lucy Dee

Well you tell me you've known every thrill that there is to know
And nothin' in this life comes free... nothin'
Well you tell me you've been every way that there is to go
Lucy you ain't been with me

Yeah Lucy Dee
You ain't got to run that line on me
Well it's plain to see
That you ain't all that you're made out to be
Well you can tell all your friends
That you finally met your equal Lucy Dee

Poor Lucy Dee

Oklahoma Borderline

Well it's rainin' down in Houston
And I got holes in both my shoes
Baby's put me on the street
She says "I'm through with you"
She thinks I'm gonna miss her
Someone tell her that she's wrong
I'm goin' back to Oklahoma, boys
'Cause that's where I belong

I need one good ride
I'll be satisfied
Come on Oklahoma borderline
If we roll all night
She'll be comin' into sight
Come on Oklahoma borderline

Well now I don't need no Texas girl
Doggin' me around
I may be a Okie, son
But I've still been to town
Well those Oklahoma city girls
They always treat you right
Well tell mama and them that I'm comin' home And I'm leavin' out tonight

I need one good ride
I'll be satisfied
Come on Oklahoma borderline
If we roll all night
She'll be comin' into sight
Come on Oklahoma borderline

So with two bucks in my pocket
And my thumb stuck in the wind
When I cross Red River, boys
I won't be back again

Give me old back roads and truck stops
And 18 wheels that whine
And some good ol' boy to take me
To that Oklahoma line

I need one good ride
I'll be satisfied
Come on Oklahoma borderline
If we roll all night
She'll be comin' into sight
Come on Oklahoma borderline

I caught one good ride
She's comin' into sight
Hello Oklahoma borderline






 

[ Vince Gill Lyrics ]

Cinderella


Say you're sorry
You still care
She came by my place again
Cryin' about you man
You should love her
Twice as much
I try to remember you're a friend
But it's gettin' a little rough

She's just tired
Of bein' Cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection
A little understanding
You better be careful 'Cause the next time she comes to my door
She won't be a Cinderella no more

A teardrop trembled
On her face
Where that smile always was
It seemed out of place
And when I held her
Like a friend
I could feel a sweet beginning
But taste a bitter end

She's just tired
Of bein' Cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection
A little understanding
And you better be careful
'Cause the next time she comes to my door
You'll be sorry

'Cause it seems like
It's always something with you
And everybody's always wrong
One of these nights
You'll reach for the pillow she sleeps on
And she's gonna be gone

She's just tired
Of bein' Cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection
A little understanding
And you better be careful
'Cause the next time she comes to my door
You'll be sorry

She's just tired
Of bein' Cinderella
She can't live that way no more
She needs a little affection
A little understanding
And you better be careful
'Cause the next time she comes to my door
You'll be sorry






 

[ Vince Gill Lyrics ]

Let's Do Something


Nothin' to do in this lonely town
Your daddy warned me, "Son, don't come around"
Says I ain't good enough for you
He don't know what I'm goin' through

So let's do something
Sneak out your bedroom window, girl
And we'll be gone
Let's do something
Oh baby let's do something
Even if it's wrong

Go see the preacher 'cross the county line
For 25 dollars he could make you mine
My heart's on fire, can't you feel it burn
I'm past the point of no return

So let's do something
Sneak out your bedroom window, girl
And we'll be gone
Let's do something
Oh baby let's do something
Even if it's wrong

I'll make your daddy understand
Oh, Lord I know I can make him understand
I'll face your daddy man to man
No guts no glory girl I'll take that chance

So let's do something
Sneak out your bedroom window, girl
And we'll be gone
Let's do something
Oh baby let's do something
Even if it's wrong

So let's do something
Sneak out your bedroom window, girl
And we'll be gone
Let's do something
Oh baby let's do something
Even if it's wrong






 

[ Vince Gill Lyrics ]

The Radio


There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
And there ain't one magazine that I ain't read
I haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on

There never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night I've ever known
It just goes on and on

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on

It does my heart good to see you shine
So I'll just keep on counting these white lines
I haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Calling me back home

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on

We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on






 

[ Vince Gill Lyrics ]

I've Been Hearing Things About You


Have I gone crazy
Is there someone new
Something strange is going on
Between me and you
But tell me baby
Tell me it's not true
'Cause I've been hearing things about you

Are you unhappy
Are you lonely too
Won't you tell me face to face
What you're gonna do
Well I still love you
But I'm nobody's fool
I've been hearing things about you

Yeah I heard you've been dancin'
When you're out there runnin' 'round
And I heard you've been seein'
Some stranger you have found
And I heard you've been thinkin'
About tellin' me we're through
Yeah I've been hearing things about you

Yeah I heard you've been thinkin'
About tellin' me we're through
I've been hearing things
Oh I ain't naming names
I've been hearing things about you






 

[ Vince Gill Lyrics ]

I Never Knew Lonely


No other lover ever really cared
When I've reached out for you you've always been there
Now I'm so far away and baby I'm scared
I never knew lonely 'til you

You are my rock and the strength I need
To keep me sane in this life that I lead
Now I'm not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely 'til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely 'til you

I can't make up for the times I've been gone
But I'll prove I love you in the words of this song
Back in your arms girl it's where I belong
I never knew lonely 'til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
Girl I never knew lonely 'til you

I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
Girl I never knew lonely 'til you
