Yeah, I've been burning up since you left I've been burning, yes, I've been burning Such a burden, this flame on my chest No insurance to pay for the damage Funny how time goes by Had respect for myself That river ran dry You reached the limit I wasn't

Baby I'm a lifer I ain't goin' nowhere Told you since day one I had to wife ya Show the world that I just wanna love ya Girl I don't wanna fight ya Yeah you're the only one for me God knows that I'm a product of George Strait And dammit I love sayin' to

Go ahead and keep your American dream Go ahead and keep it, go ahead and keep it It's either hard at work, or hardly working at all (At all) Have you had the same mentality since you were just a kid? Can you ever face reality growing up so quick? Go

I only want to be with you 'Cause you started something Oh can't you see Ever since we met you've had a hold on me It happens to be true I don't know what it is that makes me love you so I only know I never want to let you go It doesn't matter where you

Oh, me, oh, my Dreams in my arms Is all I have to hold Since you've been gone Ever since you been gone I had a dream Thinking that you were gone Leaving me on my own And you, you was there

Since you had to go I've been on a roller coaster ride Up and down I go Over you, about to lose my mind It's out of control A click clacking my heart keeps making an ominous sound That chain keeps dragging me up just to drop me back down I think I'm over

But I blew it without even tryin' Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota Hell it's been a very long time You wear it

You've got to show me love So, baby if you want me Words are so easy to say, but Heartbreaks and promises I've had more than my share I'm tired of giving my love And getting nowhere, nowhere It's been so long since I've touched the wanting hand

You were in love with someone Tell me what hardened your heart Tell me what turned it to stone Tell me what made you forget The love that you had In your heart is gone Any touch of sincerity Any trace of compassion What hardened your heart?

I come from the 'partments it was bad Ramen noodles, cup of water all we had It's like you gon' eat or you gon' starve Either you gon' hustle or you rob Never had no hoop dreams, but I always wanted to ball Ever since a jit I knew I was gon' be rich But
