I Never Knew Lonely(Vince Gill) 1988. Produced by Barry Beckett.
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
I never knew lonely til you
Oklahoma Borderline(Vince Gill, Rodney Crowell, Guy Clark) 8/24/84. Produced by Emory L. Gordy, Jr.
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
Chorus:
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 I'm comin' home
And I'm leavin' out tonight
Chorus
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
Chorus
I caught one good ride
She's comin' into sight
Hello Oklahoma borderline
Losing Your Love(Vince Gill, Rhonda Kye Fleming, Hank De Vito) 12/86 - 2/87. Produced by Richard Landis.
Stars are falling from your eyes
You don't feel what I feel inside
Your hand is warm but your heart is cold
If you're hurtin' you don't let it show
How much longer can we go on
Actin' like there's nothin' wrong
How much farther can we drift apart
Before all the feeling is gone
Chorus:
I'm losing your love
It's slippin' away
Minute by minute
Day by day
losing your love
Don't you think I know
It's a matter of time
'Til you let go
I see the moon shinin' up above
Reminded me how good it was
There's a chill comin' over me
Why can't it be like it used to be
I feel so helpless, I can't make you stay
No matter how hard I try
I can't deny that look in your eyes
Tryin' to tell me goodbye
Chorus
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go
Give me half a chance to make you love me
Give me half a chance to make you stay
Give me half a chance before you leave me
Half a chance before you turn and walk away
I'm holdin' on just like you told me
I put my heart right on the line
You know your love it really sold me
But I never had the chance to make you mine
Chorus
You said you'd never say it's over
Well I guess my heart can't beat your pride
You said I'd always be your lover
But you're gone and my tears still haven't dried
Chorus
Half a chance before you turn and walk away
Cinderella(Reed Nielsen) 12/86 - 2/87. Produced by Richard Landis.
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
1st Chorus:
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
2nd Chorus:
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
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
2nd Chorus
The Radio(Vince Gill, Reed Nielsen) 12/86 - 2/87. Produced by Richard Landis.
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
Chorus:
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
Repeat Chorus
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
Repeat Chorus to Fade
Savannah (Don't You Ever Think Of Me) (Vince Gill) Produced by Emory L. Gordy, Jr.
Do you ever think of me
When you lay your head down
Do you ever think of me
When he ain't around
Do you ever wonder why
Our love couldn't be
Ever since you said goodbye
Do you ever think of me
Chorus:
Savannah
The memory just won't fade
Savannah
I sure wish you'd stayed with me
Savannah
Do you ever see my face
In your new lover's eyes
Has my memory been erased
Am I out of your life
I still remember our first night
We made love so tenderly
So when he doesn't hold you right
Do you ever think of me
Chorus
If he ever lets you down
Happiness just can't be found
I'll still be here hangin' 'round
Savannah
Savannah
(Do you ever think of me) ... repeat to fade
With You(Vince Gill) 8/22/84. Produced by Emory L. Gordy, Jr.
I can just see us now
You and me paintin' the town
Forever just foolin' around
With you
Just think of the things we'd do
Baby just me and you
My heart can finally be true
With you
Chorus:
With you
And you with me
Is all that I can see
It ain't no mystery
I long to always be
With you
With you
I wanna be with you
I see you in every dream
Girl in my eyes you're queen
My happiness you could bring
With you
So what are you waitin' on
Just say the word and we're gone
I'll be right where I belong
With you
Chorus
Oh, darlin'
I'm so in love with you
I'll keep on callin'
'Til you make my dream come true
I can just see us now
You and me paintin' the town
Forever just foolin' around
With you
Just you
Just you and me, baby
I wanna be with you
Just you, baby
I wanna be with just you
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be with you, baby
I wanna be with you
Just you and me, baby
I know I said I'd change for you
But I think I've changed my mind
If I can't be what you want me to
Then we're just wastin' time
Chorus:
Well I'm doin' the best I can
Remember I'm just a man
And if my best ain't good enough
Baby that's tough, baby that's tough
I thought love was 50/50
This just don't add up
You always take more than you give me
Is that the new math or what
Well I can bend but please don't break me
I'm just as fragile as you
You don't have to try and make me
Jump when you tell me to
Chorus (X 3)
Baby that's tough (to fade)
Everybody's Sweetheart(Vince Gill) 12/86 - 2/87. Produced by Richard Landis.
When I told my baby
Do what you wanna do
Well I had no idea
Just what she'd put me through
Every night she's runnin' 'round
Singin' songs in your hometown
there ain't no one to love me
When the sun goes down
Chorus:
Well, she's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
I shoulda kept her barefoot
Barefoot and pregnant all the time
I used to be the first in line
Now I've fallen way behind
She's everybody's sweetheart
Everybody's sweetheart but mine
All that country club money
Lord it sure looked good to me... yeah it did
Playin' golf with those fat cats
How much better could life be
They all think I've got it made
They see your face on every page
Of every magazine
Across the USA
Chorus
If you see her tell her hi
And everything will be all right
Tell her that I love her
'Til the day I die
