Momma said she should not trust him

He was the leavin’ kind

She told her that she was mistaken

Said he loved her mind and

Hopin’ it was true, she let him in

Felt he made her whole

But on the last day of the year

He walked out with her soul

(chorus)

And as he left on silver wings

Tears fell from her eyes

And he ain’t comin’ back she knows

Cause he never said goodbye

(verse)

There were things he would not tell her

Things she could not know

He said nothin’ was forever

She watched him go—and now

She was all alone on New Years Eve

Tryin’ not to cry

Momma was right and it’s over now

Her life was such a lie

(chorus)

And he ain’t comin’ back she knows

Cause he never said goodbye

Hop scotch, stay off the cracks

Layin coins on the railroad tracks

There’s treasure to be found

In holla logs, underneath rocks

Hayseeds stuck to all our socks

Summer sights and sounds

(chorus)

I like to think of all the good times 

Cause that was just the way

Momma and Daddy raised us kids

Chasin our dreams everyday—In small town U.S.A.

(verse)

Big woods, a fishin pond

Wendy Sue, twirlin her baton

Pigtails in her hair

I sit back, I close my eyes

And I can just about smell Ma’s cherry pies

I feel like I’m still there

In small town U.S.A.

J. Michael Tracy male vocal/midtempo

The last time that I saw you, our lives were just beginning

The last time that I saw you, round us the earth was spinning

Our eyes were young, our hearts were pure and bold

We’d never fail and we would not grow old

The last time that I saw you, we didn’t have much money

Your car was quite the clunker, my clothes were kind of funny

I knew it all but didn’t have a clue

Why your brown eyes that day had turned to blue

(chorus)

You gave to me the will to fight

You’re in my dreams every night

Our passion overcame adversity

We gave each other our devotion

I filled myself with the notion

That forever you’d be here with me

(verse)

The last time that I saw you, another’s name you carried

He’d swept you off your feet and convinced you to get married

He’d give to you a better life you knew

The nothing that I had would never do

(chorus)

(verse)

The last time that I saw you, I noticed you were shaking

Tears were forming in your eyes, you know my heart was breaking

Our lives of steel had quickly turned to clay

We gently pulled apart and walked away

(chorus)

The last time that I saw you, our lonely hearts were breaking

J. Michael Tracy & Rick Lockwood male vocal/midtempo

Ya know my life has seen some troubled days

Each blossom I touch just, withers away

Drivin’ dead end roads has. hurt my pride

Where do I find the courage, to stay on this ride

(chorus)

I want to

Just don’t think I can

Open up my heart to anyone

I’m not that kind of man should I

Believe you

When I hear you say

You can always learn to love again

It’s such and old cliché

But I want to

(verse)

The light in my darkness comes from only you

There’s a hole in my armor, you’re gettin through

And this wall around me, might fall apart

My head keeps warnin me“Son, don’t expose your heart” but

(chorus)

Inst. verse

I want to

Yeah I want to

Girl I want to
