*** DIAMOND RIO LYRICS ***
ALBUM: IV
"Holdin’"
Parked down on lover’s leap
Steaming up his old heap
Two lovers stare up at the stars
Somewhere in the lights below
Two houses all aglow
Parents wondering where on earth they are
‘Cause their folks have tried to tell them
This is way too serious
And while their mommas are waiting up they’re
Holdin’, lovin’, kissin’, huggin’
Come whatever may they keep
Goin’, dreamin’, smilin’, believin’
That nothin’ matters like this love they’re holdin’
A few years and some wedding vows
A quarter-acre and a little white house
More than they can well afford
And those easy payments are getting tough
All the overtime ain’t enough
Still they couldn’t ask for more
‘Cause that old hill that they’ve been climbin’
Might be gettin' steep
Oh, but they don’t seem to mind it they keep
Holdin’, lovin’, kissin’, huggin’
Come whatever may they keep
Goin’, dreamin’, smilin’, believin’
That nothin’ matters like this love they’re holdin’
As they rock their newborn baby fast asleep
They know the most important lesson they can teach
Keep on
Holdin’, lovin’, kissin’, huggin’
Come whatever may they keep
Goin, dreamin’, smilin’, believin’
That nothing matters, like this love
They’re holdin’, dreamin’, goin', knowin’, believin’,
Nothing matters like this love they’re holdin’
Just keep on holdin’
"Walkin’ Away"
Sometimes a careless word just rolls right off my tongue
Now matter what I do it leaves you all undone
Hey baby no need to go crazy over some little something I’ve said
Can’t you see you’re the keeper of my heart
Even when I lose my head
We’ve still got it good no matter how bad it gets
Even after all this time the slipper still fits
Hey just look at how far we’ve come by choosing to stay
Baby don’t go there love don’t get nowhere walkin’ away
Sometimes the whisper of love gets lost in the angry shout
Even hearts that are in this deep might think about an easy way out
One honest touch makes those worries just fade like stars at dawn
These occasional moments of weakness
Only makes our love more strong
We’ve still got it good no matter how bad it gets
Even after all this time the slipper still fits
Hey just look at how far we’ve come by choosing to stay
Baby don’t go there love don’t get nowhere walkin’ away
It gets easier all the time
Oh and harder and harder to leave behind
We’ve still got it good no matter how bad it gets
Even after all this time the slipper still fits
Hey just look at how far we’ve come by choosing to stay
Baby don’t go there love don’t get nowhere walkin’ away
Baby don’t go there love don’t get nowhere walkin’ away
"That’s what I get for lovin’ you"
I start every day with a smile on my face
And the feel of a kiss on my lips
When the world plays to rough I can find a healin’ touch
Life’s never been better than this
That’s what I get for lovin’ you
Heaven’s right here in my hands
A dream that is real and a heart that beats true
That’s what I get for lovin’ you
There was a time I walked outside the lines
I only thought of myself
Then you sat me down turned my head around
Now I put you before everything else
That’s what I get for lovin’ you
Heaven’s right here in my hands
A dream that is real and a heart that beats true
That’s what I get for lovin’ you
Love is a feelin’ I never knew much about
Forever’s a word I never said until now
That’s what I get for lovin’ you
Heaven’s right here in my hands
A dream that is real and a heart that beats true
That’s what I get for lovin’ you
That’s what I get for lovin’ you
Heaven’s right here in my hands
A dream that is real and a heart that beats true
That’s what I get for lovin’ you
"She Misses Him On Sunday The Most"
They were quite a pair
The way that love should be
They still held hands
For the world to see
She’s thankful that she had him all those years
But she still has days she can’t hold back the tears
She misses their Monday night bowling league
When they’d wear their matching shirts
She misses their Wednesday night dinner out
As soon as he got home from work
And Saturday morning sleeping late
Holding each other close
But she misses him on Sunday the most
She sits alone on that same old pew again
His tenor voice still echoes now and then
It brings back all those memories of him there by her side
What she’d give for one more Sunday drive
She misses their Monday night bowling league
When they’d wear their matching shirts
She misses their Wednesday night dinner out
As soon as he got home from work
And Saturday morning sleeping late
Holding each other close
But she misses him on Sunday the most
But she misses him on Sunday the most
"She Sure Did Like To Run"
She made her exit a month ago tomorrow
Called up her mama and asked if she could borrow
Enough money to leave for awhile
Mama said you always were impulsive child
She bought a ticket at the Greyhound station
Said she needed a permanent vacation
Ran out of money by Santa Fe
Hitchhiked the rest of the way
And she blew into town with a runaway heart
Like a Santa Ana blowin’ down Ocean Boulevard
Everybody said she was a restless one
Never knew where she was going but
She sure did like to run
She took a job with a bucket and a wet mop
Saved her pay checks and bought an old ragtop
She’d crank it up and let her hair down
They’d hear her coming for miles around
And she blew into town with a runaway heart
Like a Santa Ana blowin’ down Ocean Boulevard
Everybody said she was a restless one
Never knew where she was going but
She sure did like to run
Last time I saw her she was letting the top down
She wouldn’t tell me but I think she was south bound
She waved good-bye and looked back and smiled
And took off after the call of the wild
And she blew out of town with a runaway heart
Like a Santa Ana blowin’ down Ocean Boulevard
Everybody said she was a restless woman
Never knew where she was going
She never knew where she was going
Never knew where she was going
But she sure did like to run
"It’s All In Your Head"
Momma died young giving birth to a son
In a home for wayward girls
Daddy was sidewalk, soapbox preacher
Looking forward to the end of the world
Every Friday night he’d pick a Jesus fight
Down at the local pool hall
Racking up souls condemning all those
Caught behind the eight ball
He said I preach for the light - the light shows the way
Don’t ever trust what the government say
We never walked on the moon
Elvis ain’t dead
You ain’t going crazy
It’s all in your head
Lucy was a messed up, dressed up waitress
With a slightly tarnished heart of gold
She wasn’t half bad for a new step momma
As far as step momma’s go
Daddy knew she was the one as he baked in the sun
In a parking lot preaching the truth
Up shot her hand and she cried, oh, man
I feel it, yes, I feel it I do
It’s been revealed to me down deep in my soul
There were two shooters on the grassy knoll
We never walked on the moon
Elvis ain’t dead
You ain’t going crazy
It’s all in your head
Let us sing
It’s all interpretation
To find the truth you gotta read between the lines
Work out your own salvation
That narrow path is hard to define
Heaven’s more than a place
It’s a state of mind
In his quest for truth
Daddy was moved by the spirit
To take up a snake
In a moment of doubt the venom turned out
Stronger than daddy’s faith
But I’ll never forget his dying breath
The last words that he said
We never walked on the moon
Elvis ain’t dead
You ain’t going crazy
It’s all in your head
Let me tell ya
It’s all interpretation
To find the truth you gotta read between the lines
Work out your own salvation
That narrow path is had to define
Heaven’s more than a place
It’s a state of mind
State of mind
"Who Am I"
There must have been some realignment
Between the sun and the stars
That changed my fate the day you changed my life
I was destined to be nobody special
Till you saw somebody in me
And made me believe that I could be that lucky guy
Still it’s hard to understand
How I became the man that I am
But who am I
To be loved by you
The way that I am
The way that you do
I don’t deserve
A love this true
Who am I
To be loved by you
You could be waltzing in Paris
Or sipping champagne on some yacht
But here you are in my arms tonight
It’s more than my heart can fathom
That this is where you choose to be
The rest of your life and the rest of your love is mine
You say you have no doubts
Me I’m still trying to figure it out
But who am I
To be loved by you
The way that I am
The way that you do
I don’t deserve
A love this true
Who am I
To be loved by you
Who am I
To be loved by you
"Love Takes You There"
In a chapel halfway across town
With a ring two hearts find common ground
A mother holds her miracle of birth
In his eyes he sees what dreams are worth
There’s places you’ll never find
Without love as your guide
To reach the destinations of the heart
So, if you trust enough to care
You can go anywhere
But only love
Takes you there
See a couple walking hand in hand
Sharing a moment only lovers can
And sitting on a Greyhound all alone
A soldier with a suitcase heading home
There’s places you’ll never find
Without love as your guide
To reach the destinations of the heart
So, if you trust enough to care
You can go anywhere
But only love
Takes you there
So, if you trust enough to care
You can go anywhere
But only love
Only love takes you there
"Is That Asking Too Much"
Some people say there’s no American dream
I hear them talking but they don’t say a thing
I still believe you’ve got to give it to get
Baptize your every aspiration in sweat
I vow my head each night and roll up my sleeves
‘Cause buddy it’s a long hard road to Easy Street
Where all the cars go
Fast, fast, fast
When you step on the gas, gas, gas
Nobody else is gonna pass me up going down the road
I want a great big house on the hill
Every pocket full of hundred dollar bills
Givin’ me a thrill, thrill, thrill I ain’t never known
Is that asking too much
Am I over the line
Am I way out of touch
Tell me am I losing my mind
I know I won’t never get enough
Is that asking too much
I’ve never been accused of dreaming too small
I never saw no shame in wanting it all
I guess that’s just the curse of being born poor
No matter what you got you always want more
Everybody wants a lot, a little inside
I’m not the only one with hungry eyes
That wants a car that goes
Fast, fast, fast
When you step on the gas, gas, gas
Nobody else is gonna pass me up going down the road
I want a great bid house on the hill
Every pocket full of hundred dollar bills
Man, givin me a thrill, thrill, thrill I ain’t never known
Is that asking too much
Am I over the line
Am I way out of touch
Tell me am I losing my mind
I know I won’t never get enough
Is that asking too much
I just wanna go fast, fast, fast
When I step on the gas, gas, gas
Nobody else is gonna pass me up going down the road
I want a great big house on the hill
Every pocket full of hundred dollar bills
Man givin me a thrill, thrill, thrill I ain’t never known
When I step on the gas, gas, gas
You know I wanna go fast, fast, fast
Nobody better ever pass me up going down the road
I gotta build me a house on the hill
Every pocket full of hundred dollar bills
Man, givin' me a thrill, thrill, thrill I ain’t never known
Now is that asking too much
"Just Another Heart"
You treat love like a game
But you don’t play by any rules
You keep an ace held up your sleeve
For any unsuspectin' fool
I thought I would be different
So I did not expect
That to you I’d be another
Heart in the deck
Just another heart
For you to shuffle around
Just a little part
Of a bigger game that’s going down
I don’t like this deal
So I’ll get out while I still can
I don’t want to be just another heart in your hand
Like a riverboat gambler
Someday you’ll lose your touch
To a smooth operator
Who cheats you out of love
When your diamonds turn to teardrops
When your gold begins to rust
It’s then you will know this feeling of running out of trust I’m
Just another heart
For you to shuffle around
Just a little part
Of a bigger game that’s going down
I don’t like this deal
So I’ll get out while I still can
I don’t want to be just another heart in your hand
I can’t take anymore
Of what you’re not giving me
I can live with a lot
But I don’t want to be
Just another heart
For you to shuffle around
Just a little part
Of a bigger game that’s going down
I don’t like this deal
So I’ll get out while I still can
I don’t want to be just another heart in your hand
I don’t like this deal
So I’ll get out while I still can
‘Cause I don’t want to be
Just another heart in your hand
You treat love like a game
But your don’t play by any rules
