|
(Renbarger & Roquemore, 2016)
Knew there was something
Shoulda seen it coming
I Couldn't figure it out
You tried to tell me
The way the you held me,
"Hey baby... any day now"
Pre
You gave me all the signs
Chorus
You had me at goodbye
Just turning back the time
Don't try and tell me its too late
Honey whats it going to take
To make things right?
Honey, you had me at goodbye
I done you wrong
Baby all along
I've been a first class fool
Takin' advantage of
Countless second chances
And that ain't fair to you
Pre
All I need is one last try
Baby, give me one more night
Chorus
You had me at goodbye
Just turning back the time
Don't try and tell me its too late
Honey whats it going to take
To make things right?
Honey, you had me at goodbye
Bridge
By the time I figured out that we were over
You were halfway out the door
C'mon baby won't you let me pull you closer
I ain't the same anymore
Inst.
Chorus
You had me at goodbye
Just turning back the time
You had me at goodbye
And I keep turning back the time
Don't try and tell me its too late
Honey whats it going to take
To make things right?
Oh, where am I supposed to go
With all the doors and windows closed
But I'm stuck outside
Honey, you had me at goodbye

Ref.
Don't you go fallin' for me
Don't you go fallin' for me
Honey, I'm bound for leavin'
Guaranteed
Don't you go fallin' for me
Don't look at me with that smile
Those eyes shinin' green like a child
With that body so tender
And that spirit so wild
Don't look at me with that smile
And, don't waste your prayers on my kiss
Only rollin' them bones with those lips
And the odds ain't too good girl
Cause I'm gonna split
No, don't waste no prayers on my kiss
Ref.
Inst.
Now girl let me talk to you straight
Well, I call all my demons by name
And this six-string I'm strumming
She's my ball and chain
So, girl let me save you some pain
Ref.
Don't you go fallin' for me
No, don't go a'fallin' for me
Honey, I'm bound for leaving
It's a guarantee
Don't you go fallin' for me
Don't you go fallin' for me
Aw, I'll break that heart
Just wait and see
Don't you go fallin' for me

Honey, I'm bound for leavin'
Guaranteed
Don't you go fallin' for me

(Renbarger & Beckman, 2017)
Ref.
If I had a girl like Emily
If I had a girl like Emily
I'd smile all the time
I'd be as happy as can be
If I had a girl like Emily
If I was the boy to make her laugh
If I was the boy to make her laugh
I'd cherish every moment, oh, I'd take a photograph
If I was the boy to make her laugh
If I was the one she called at night
If I was the one she called at night
We'd talk for hours and hours, until the morning light
If I was the one she called at night
Ref.
If I had a girl like Emily
If I had a girl like Emily
I'd smile all the time
I'd be as happy as can be
If I had a girl like Emily
If I was the one to dry her tears
If I was the one to dry her tears
I would comfort her 'till her mind was well and clear
If I was the one to dry her tears
If she was the girl to wear my ring
If she was the girl to wear my ring
I'd love her forever, I'd treat her like a queen
If she was girl to wear my ring
Ref.
If I had a girl like Emily
If I had a girl like Emily
I'd smile all the time
I'd be as happy as can be
If I had a girl like Emily

(Renbarger, 2017)
Hello, how are ya?
It's been quite some time
You tell me you're happy
I tell you I'm fine
Pre
Now, I thought we'd be
In love 'till the end
But now we're just strangers
Or you call it friends
Refrain
Strangers again
Strangers again
You call it friends
Just strangers again
Aw, tell me, who is he?
How lucky for him
I sure hope he treats you
As well as I did
Pre
And it's funny to think that
You sleep in his bed
And we're nothing but strangers
You call it friends
Refrain
Strangers again
Strangers again
You call it friends
Just strangers again
Inst.
Refrain
Strangers again
Strangers again
You call it friends

(Renbarger, 2018)
Well, I thought that I'd hit the lotto
Maybe make the major leagues
Build myself a rocket
Buy a big long limousine
Ref.
Oh, I thought that I'd sing with Elvis
Oh, I thought I'd walk on the sea
Yah, I thought that I'd hit the lotto
Before a girl like you would love me
And I thought that I'd be an actor
With a face for magazines
Maybe move myself to Paris
Paint the world a masterpiece
Ref.
Oh, I thought I'd end all the hunger
Hell, I thought that I'd be crowned king
Yah, I thought that I'd hit the lotto
Before a girl like you would love me
Bridge
I just can't believe it
Nah, I must be dreamin'
My summer's sunshine
My star in the night
Inst.
Now, I thought that I'd write a record
To go down in history
To be bought by crowds of people
To be played in symphonies
Ref.
Oh, I thought that I would cure cancer
Maybe meet up with God for a drink
I said, I thought that I'd hit the lotto
Before a girl like you would love me
Tag
Before a girl like you would love me
